Day 8 and 9 Winners

, by . 3 Comments

day 8 and 9 winnersI hope everyone was busy watching the Olympics, knitting or doing something else fun over the weekend! I got a little knitting done on something I’ll share with you on Tuesday, and spent way too much time out in the Arkansas summer heat and had to take a day to recuperate!

But enough about me, on to the winners. The winner of The Olympknits is commenter number 16, Andrea, who said she will watch “literally anything” they show of the Olympics on TV.

The winner of the Zen of Socks DVD and cards is number 32, Joyce, who is working on a placemat, a frilly scarf and a shawl. Better add some socks to the list!

Congratulations, everyone! If my math is right after today you have seven more chances to win!

  1. I have been watching the olympics all that I can watch. I even record it when I am away. We (USA) are doing great!

    I have a scarf and a vest on the needles right now. I watch and knit. GREAT!
    Could it get any better ?

  2. I’m working on an afghan for a viet nam vet while watching some gymnastics. Gabby is from my state, so we are all cheering her on to win the gold!

  3. Thanks for choosing my number! I’m thrilled to win this dvd so I can start making some lovely socks. Do I need to do anything to claim the prize?

Book Review – Wilderness Knits: Scandi-style sweaters for adventuring outdoors

Wilderness Knits: Scandi-style sweaters for adventuring outdoors 23 knitting patterns for jumpers and cardigans to last a lifetime

Combining her love for the outdoors and knitting, Linka Neumann presents patterns for Scandi-style jumpers, cardigans, and a headband that will keep you warm and dry, no matter how rough the weather is.

Drawing on traditional Norwegian knitting methods, these designs for thick, woolly knits are not only comfortable and cozy, but also represent authenticity and style that has stood the test of time. Linka takes inspiration from nature and wildlife for her fresh yet timeless designs. From the Norwegian forests, snow-covered landscapes, and fjords to reindeer, wolves, and her beloved Husky dogs.

Many of the designs come with variations to suit all tastes, whether you prefer a jumper or a cardigan, a thick or thin garment, sewn-on arms or round yokes. The patterns include instructions for a range of sizes and for both female and male body shapes. There is also a pattern for making Linka’s signature Wilderness Sweater in children’s sizes.

The projects are showcased in a stunning Norwegian landscape that will make you yearn for the outdoors. And no matter how long or short your adventure, you will be cozy in your bespoke, home-knitted jumper. These knits chime with an eco-conscious, anti-fast fashion sentiment and will literally last you a lifetime of adventuring!
